In the mid-term, G2 successfully counterattacked in the river group, Xia and Taliyah became the key, and after completing the kill, they successfully got the Earth Dragon. Although G2 made a mistake at the big dragon and was robbed of the dragon by BLG's Clockwork through the wall, BLG failed to expand its advantage. In the late stage , BLG opened the group with the ball through the mid and jungle, Sion rushed into the formation and hit three people, and Kai'Sa entered the field to harvest the back row, and finally turned the game around successfully and won the first game.

In the second game, G2 quickly took the initiative. Ezreal was caught in the laning phase in the bottom lane, Gwen was killed in the top lane, G2 took control of the Broodling, and BLG took the Dragon. In the mid-term teamfight, G2's core weapons and equipment were formed, and Tsar developed steadily. They took advantage in two consecutive teamfights and took the Dragon and the Vanguard. Although BLG tried to counterattack by stealing skills from Sylas, they were always defeated in the head-on battle. In the end, G2 easily won the second game and tied the score to 1-1 .

In the final round, G2 continued to control the rhythm of the game, taking the dragon again in the early stage and establishing an economic advantage, while BLG relied on controlling the nest worm to stop the loss. In the mid-term , BLG 's jungler and support continued to give up their heads, and G2 took advantage of the situation to advance, and in the late stage, relying on the formation of the double C and the blessing of the Ornn artifact to kill the core instantly. At 28 minutes, G2 wiped out BLG and successfully advanced to end the game. The rhythm of the whole game was clear and neat.

Throughout the series, BLG exposed a number of problems such as unstable state, inconsistent operations, and wrong decisions in team battles, especially frequent mistakes in handling in the middle and late stages. G2 played steadily in the key games, completing their revenge two years ago and showing their potential to compete for the championship. With the victory in hand, G2 successfully advanced to the EWC semi-finals, while BLG unfortunately stopped in the quarter-finals, ending their journey in this session.
